Restoration of Financial Reporting for Political Parties (Amendment No. 93)

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, the Verkhovna Rada allowed political parties to temporarily suspend reporting on their income and expenditures. It is important to note that parliamentary parties continued to receive public funding during this period.

The National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) stressed that Members of Parliament should have supported the amendment restoring mandatory reporting. However, obligatory financial reporting was only reinstated in 2023.

As a result, the failed vote on this amendment significantly undermined the transparency and accountability of political party financing.
